Question

On an application form, Mary needs to put her daughter's age in months. If her daughter is 4 2/3 old, what number should Mary put on the form?​

Answer 1

56 months

Explanation:

4 2/3 years

= 4 years and 2/3 of a year

remember, 12 months = 1year

so, 2/3 of 1 year = 2/3 of 12 months

= 2/3 × 12

= 8 months.

For 4 years to months,

4 × 12 months = 48 months

so, 4 2/3 years = 48 + 8

56months

Answer 2

56 months

Explanation:

1 year= 12 months

4 years=12x4= 48 months

2/3 years=8 months

number she should put=48+8=56 months
